Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a distributor for a foreign substance detection and removal device that can reliably remove foreign substances from a fluid flow. The distributor is designed to evenly distribute the fluid to multiple narrow flow pathways, while keeping the flow rates and velocities constant. This prevents clogging of the device and ensures minimal fluid loss. The distributor is also designed to minimize impacts on flow distribution performance, even when the fluid changes in overall flow rate, density, or viscosity. The invention solves the problem of nonuniform flow distribution in the device caused by a difference in velocity between the central and side flow paths."

Problems solved by technology

When a filter is used to remove the foreign substances included in such a fibrous fruit material or fluid as the above, the filter will be unusable if clogged with the fibrous constituents.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]The present invention will be described hereunder with reference to an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0025]A distributor is described per FIGS. 1(a), 1(b), and 1(c). FIG. 1(a) is a side view of the distributor, FIG. 1(b) a front view thereof, and FIG. 1(c) a plan view thereof.

[0026]As shown in FIGS. 1(a), 1(b), 1(c), the distributor includes a distributor body 40 and an inlet pathway 6a for a fluid, the inlet pathway 6a being connected to the distributor body 40.

[0027]The distributor body 40 includes a liquid pan 40a formed on the lower side, and outlet 40b formed on the upper side. The outlet 40b is divided to spaces, each of the spaces being associated with a separate flow pathway of a foreign substance removal device not shown. That is to say, the outlet 40b of the distributor body 40 includes two arrays of compartments 41 formed independently of one another. Each compartment 41 extends in a flow direction of the fluid in the distributor body 40 and contains...

Abstract

A distributor 6 includes a distributor body 40 and outlet pathways 42 each formed above the distributor body 40 and along a flow direction of a fluid in the distributor body 40. The distributor body 40 has a liquid pan 40a formed on the lower side, and an outlet 40b on the upper side, and the outlet 40b is internally divided to spaces by a partition plate 45, each of the spaces 45a being associated with the corresponding outlet pathway 42.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a distributor used for a foreign substance detection and removal device for detecting and removing any foreign substances included in a liquid fluid, such as a raw fruit material, drink, or pharmaceutical which primarily contains fibrous constituents.BACKGROUND ART[0002]When a filter is used to remove the foreign substances included in such a fibrous fruit material or fluid as the above, the filter will be unusable if clogged with the fibrous constituents.[0003]For this reason, Patent Document 1 proposes a device for removing any foreign substances included in a fluid, the device being constructed so that the fluid to be inspected is gravitationally guided into a plurality of narrow flow pathways first, then the foreign substances in the fluid are detected during the flow of the fluid through the narrow flow paths by a detector, and during the detection of the foreign substances, valves in each of the flow pathways with the detec...
